Hidilyn Diaz, PSC, DepEd team up for biggest PH weightlifting academy
The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), the Department of Education (DepEd), the Department of Budget and Management, and Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz-Naranjo are collaborating to establish the country's largest weightlifting academy.
This initiative aims to strengthen school-based sports programs nationwide, a priority pushed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during his State of the Nation Address.
Both the PSC and DepEd recognize weight training and weightlifting as fundamental to student-athlete development.
The PSC emphasizes the need for proper training to prevent injuries, highlighting that equipment alone is insufficient.
Hidilyn Diaz-Naranjo, through her HD Weightlifting Academy, will lead the coaching and technical guidance for aspiring weightlifters.
